Under The Influence

3 CDs of Tom Waits... and it's all good! That's hardly surprising though - Tom Waits really knows what he's doing. I've been addicted to his work since first hearing Closing Time back in 1999 (bit slow on the uptake, I know).

In Road to Peace he gives a vague commentary on the situation in Israel & Palestine (I have a few things to say about that myself).

The album feels like an ambling road journey across The US. So many different styles are covered. I love the way it sounds like it's old - not an old recording, but for me it invokes images of olden shipping docks at night.

3 hours of heaven.
